Columbus, OH – Greg R. Lawson, a research fellow at The Buckeye Institute, commented after Governor Mike DeWine signed a trio of bills—House Bill 186, House Bill 309, and House Bill 335—which will help lower property taxes on Ohioans.

“The Buckeye Institute applauds the General Assembly and Governor DeWine for giving Ohio taxpayers the biggest property tax reform in half a century. The General Assembly should be commended for passing this package of reforms, which limits automatic tax increases without voter approval and gives county budget commissions tools to reduce property taxes if a levy collects more taxes than voters approved. These Buckeye Institute-recommended policies will help homeowners struggling with skyrocketing property tax bills.”
